This was fifth trip was quite different from any of the others. In the first place, the little gallipot of a boat that we were in was gravely overloaded. Five grown men, and three of them- Trelawney, redruth, and the captian- over six feet hight, was already more than she was meant carry. Add to that the powder, pork, and bread bags. The gunwale was lipping astern. Several times we shipped a little water, and my breeches and the trails of my coat were all soaking wet before we had gone a hundred yards.
The captain made us trim the boat, and we got her to lie a little more evenly. All the same, we got her to lie a little more evenly. All the same, we were afraid to breathe.
I chose this passage because it moves the story along, from after they left shore. This shows that the passage didnt lack of food, even through that time period, which is the great depression. Do you guys think the food they ate is something you would prefer.

These pirates dont have much food but they got to make the best of what they got. They dont have the most appetizing food (but they might like it) and when you live at sea, you got to get used to eating whatever you can find.
